Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 5-ounce can white meat tuna
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1/4 cup Greek yogurt plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or 1/2 ripe avocado; see Step 3)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 chopped hard boiled egg (optional)
4 slices bread, for serving (like artisan, no knead, whole wheat, sandwich, or sourdough)

Steps:

  • Drain the tuna. Place it in a bowl and use a fork to break apart any large clumps.
  • Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
  • For Classic Tuna Salad, use a fork to mix together the tuna and chopped vegetables with the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Add shredded Parmesan if desired (it really steps it up a notch!). For Tuna Salad with Egg, add chopped hard boiled egg. For Avocado Tuna Salad, use 1/2 chopped ripe avocado instead of the Greek yogurt and mayo, and skip the Parmesan.
  • Lightly toast the bread, if desired. Spoon the tuna salad onto the bread and serve.

TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES



Tuna Salad Sandwiches image

Inspired by Iranians' love affair with pickles and fresh herbs, this tuna salad combines the crunch and tang of dill pickles with a mix of herbs. The cheerful addition of potato chips celebrates relaxed summer lunches - and tastes great any time of year. Ciabatta rolls and classic salted chips are especially good here, but you can use your favorite loaves and chips, or skip the bread and just serve the tuna salad with chips for scooping.

Provided by Naz Deravian

Categories     lunch, sandwiches, main course

Time 5m

Yield 4 to 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (5-ounce) cans tuna in water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped sour dill pickles (from 2 small)
1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried dill
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, split and lightly toasted
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the tuna, place in a medium bowl and use a fork to flake into pieces. Add the mayonnaise, pickles, celery, green onion, dill, parsley, lemon juice and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and combine well. Taste and adjust all seasonings to your liking if needed. The tuna salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Divide the tuna salad among the bottom halves of the rolls, top off with potato chips, sandwich with the ciabatta tops and serve.

Tips for Perfect Tuna Salad or Sandwiches:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in oil, as it can be mushy and oily.
  • Drain the tuna well: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Add vegetables like celery, onion, and pickles for crunch and flavor. Hard-boiled eggs, chopped nuts, and herbs are also great additions.
  • Use a creamy base: Mayonnaise is the classic choice, but you can also use Greek yogurt, sour cream, or avocado for a healthier option.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  • Chill before serving: This will help the flavors meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you prefer it on a sandwich, wrap, or salad, there are endless possibilities for customization. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, tuna salad is a versatile and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give tuna salad a try!
